I met Kristen last year at my workshop in Virginia. We totally hit it off. Not only is she a fabulous photographer (the girl’s use of color makes me drool), she is a total inspiration. She is young but has already managed to create an amazing business, develop beautiful style and have it all together before most of us have even graduated college. She texted me recently and asked about coming out to do a couple of shoots together. Just a day in the studio of styling, playing and shooting (can’t really think of a better way to spend a day). She convinced her friend, Kristi, to come too (yay!!) and we just had a fun girls day of doing what we do best!
Before we get into all that fun though… Kristen jumped in front of my camera for a bit (I do have to mention the girl is a ROCKSTAR.. It was freeeeezing outside and she played it like a total pro). Totally intimidating to shoot another photographer but when you have a subject like this, hard to go wrong ;)
